Genuine OEM 279311 Dryer Igniter Kit and Bracket
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool 279311 is the gas dryer igniter kit with mounting bracket. The silicon carbide igniter glows to light the gas burner and produce the heat that dries your clothes. When the igniter weakens or breaks, the dryer tumbles but doesn't heat, because the gas valve never gets the signal to light the burner.
This is the original Whirlpool part. It is listed as a replacement for both round and flat igniters, so it covers a long list of older Whirlpool part numbers for gas dryers sold as Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM 279311 Igniter Kit and Bracket fixes a gas dryer that spins but doesn't heat because the igniter has burned out or is too weak to open the gas valve. It is for gas dryers only. Classic symptom: the drum turns and the dryer sounds normal, but clothes come out cold and damp, and you never see the igniter glow.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Gas dryer runs but doesn't heat
Clothes come out damp after a full cycle
Igniter never glows, or glows but the burner never lights
Cracked, broken, or burned igniter
Burner lights unreliably or only some of the time

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power and Shut Off the Gas Unplug the dryer and close the gas shutoff valve before beginning, and wear work gloves. Remove the panel that gives access to the burner assembly per your model's service guide, disconnect the igniter's wire connector, and remove the old igniter and bracket. The igniter is fragile, so handle it by the bracket and avoid bumping or squeezing the element. Install the new kit in the same position, reconnect the wires, then restore the gas and power and test the dryer for heat. If you smell gas at any point, stop, ventilate, and call your gas utility.
Frequently Asked Questions
My gas dryer spins but doesn't heat. Is this the part I need?
A failed igniter is a common cause. If you run the dryer and never see the igniter glow, or it glows but the burner doesn't light, test the igniter for continuity. A bad coil on the gas valve or a thermal fuse can cause the same symptom, so check those too.
Will this fit an electric dryer?
No. This igniter is for gas dryers only. Electric dryers use a heating element instead.
Why did my new igniter break?
Silicon carbide igniters are fragile. Handle the new one by the bracket, and don't press or bump the element during installation. A weak or restricted gas supply or a faulty gas valve can also make igniters fail early.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool-built gas dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. The thermal fuse is located on the exhaust duct or blower wheel housing — access it by removing the back or front panel depending on your dryer model. Disconnect the two wire terminals from the old fuse, remove the fuse from its bracket, install the new fuse in the same position, reconnect the terminals, and reassemble the panel. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4-inch nut driver, and a multimeter to confirm the new fuse has continuity. ⚠️ Important: Before completing the repair, always check and clear the exhaust vent of any lint buildup — a blocked vent is the most common cause of thermal fuse failure and will blow the new fuse if not corrected.
Frequently Asked Questions

This thermal fuse is compatible with select gas and electric dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Crosley, Amana, Admiral, and Magic Chef. Use the model search above to verify your model, or contact our support team before ordering.
What does a dryer thermal fuse do?
The thermal fuse is a one-time-use safety device that monitors the temperature inside the dryer. When the dryer overheats — typically due to a clogged exhaust vent — the fuse permanently opens the circuit, cutting power to the heating system to prevent a fire. Once blown, it cannot be reset and must be replaced.
How do I know if my thermal fuse is blown?
Test the fuse with a multimeter set to continuity mode. Touch the probes to each of the two terminals. A working fuse will show continuity (beep or near-zero ohms). A blown fuse will show no continuity (open circuit). If there is no continuity, the fuse is blown and must be replaced.
Why did my thermal fuse blow?
The most common cause is restricted airflow due to a clogged or kinked exhaust vent, a plugged lint trap, or a damaged blower wheel. Always check and clear the exhaust vent before or after replacing the fuse — failing to do so will cause the new fuse to blow again.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is designed to deliver reliable overheat protection at a more affordable price point.

17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)
The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time.
When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The 17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers that are overheating, not heating, drying unevenly, or taking too long to dry.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine.
My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace?
Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor.
What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060?
These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part.
Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

154825001 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Heating Element
The 154825001 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM round heating element that sits exposed at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Unlike a hidden element concealed beneath the tub floor, this is a visible ring-shaped element you can see sitting right in the bottom of the wash chamber. It serves two jobs: it heats the wash water to the temperature needed to properly dissolve detergent and break down grease and food soil, and at the end of the cycle it provides the heat that drives the drying phase, helping moisture evaporate off your dishes rather than leaving them wet.
Mounted through a 0.98" hole with two mounting nuts and connected by two wire terminals, this element carries a pair of white alignment dots that must line up with the tub's retaining clips during installation. Over time, mineral buildup from hard water, general corrosion, or simple electrical wear can cause the element to fail. A failing or dead element produces a specific and recognizable pattern: water never gets hot enough to clean effectively, dishes come out wet at the end of the cycle instead of dry, and the whole cycle may run noticeably longer as the dishwasher's control tries to compensate. It directly replaces AP5628696, 154482901, 154663801, 2308825, PS3653449, and EAP3653449. As a genuine OEM part, the 154825001 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 154825001 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Heating Element fixes Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse dishwashers with dishes that don't get properly clean, dishes that come out wet instead of dry, or cycles that take longer than they used to. Exposed round heating element, 0.98" mounting hole, 2 wire terminals. Replaces AP5628696, 154482901, 154663801, 2308825, PS3653449, EAP3653449. Before replacing, test the old element with a multimeter for resistance — a bad control board relay can produce identical symptoms with a perfectly good element.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishes not getting properly clean because wash water isn't reaching the correct temperature
Dishwasher not drying dishes — items come out wet at the end of the cycle
Cycle taking noticeably longer than usual to complete
Visible damage, corrosion, or discoloration on the element itself
Element that doesn't glow or heat up when the wash cycle is running
Water leaking near the high-temperature wire connector at the element terminals
Mineral scale buildup visible on or around the element

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Handle The Element Carefully Disconnect power at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. On many models you'll need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the undercarriage — remove the two screws securing the unit to the counter first. Remove the lower rack and the lower spray arm (it typically pushes down and twists to unlock) to access the element inside the tub. From underneath, disconnect the two wires from the element's terminals and remove the two mounting nuts with a 1/2" wrench, taking care not to overtighten when you reach the new element — over-torquing can crush the sealing washers and cause a leak at the connector. Lift the old element free from its retaining clips inside the tub. To install the new 154825001, locate the two white alignment dots on the element and position them so they slide into the tub's retaining clips correctly — this ensures the element seats in its proper orientation. Push the terminals down through the mounting hole, then from underneath, reinstall and tighten the mounting nuts snugly but not excessively. Reconnect the two wires to the terminals, reinstall the lower spray arm and press it down to lock it in place, and reinstall the lower rack. Restore water and power, then slide the dishwasher back into place and secure it to the counter with its mounting screws. Run a test cycle and check underneath for any leaks at the element connection before considering the repair complete. Tools needed: screwdriver, 1/2" wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know it's the heating element and not something else, like the control board?
Before replacing the element, it's worth testing it with a multimeter for resistance — a healthy element typically reads in the neighborhood of 14 ohms, though exact values vary by model. If the old element tests fine but dishes still aren't drying or getting hot enough, the more likely cause is upstream of the element itself, such as a control board relay that isn't sending power to it correctly. Some owners have replaced a perfectly good element only to find the actual fault was a bad solder connection on the control board relay — testing first can save you an unnecessary purchase.
Can I clean the element instead of replacing it?
Light surface cleaning to remove mineral scale buildup is reasonable and can sometimes help if reduced heating output is due to scale insulating the element. However, if the element tests as an open circuit (no continuity) or shows visible damage, cracking, or corrosion through the metal sheath, cleaning won't restore it — replacement is the correct fix at that point.
I noticed water leaking near the element's wire connector. Is that related?
Yes, this is a documented failure point on this element design — the high-temperature wire connector at the terminals can develop a leak, especially if the mounting nuts were overtightened during a prior installation and damaged the sealing washer. When installing the new element, tighten the mounting nuts snugly but avoid excessive force, which helps prevent this same leak point from recurring.
Do I really need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter?
On most installations, yes — accessing the mounting nuts and wire terminals underneath the tub requires pulling the unit forward after removing the two screws that secure it to the counter. Some technicians have managed the nut removal with a deep socket without fully pulling the unit, but planning for full access makes the job considerably easier, especially the first time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original heating output, mounting configuration, and terminal layout of the element originally installed in your dishwasher.

XPARTCO WE1X21975 Dryer Fuse, 30 Amp
The XPARTCO WE1X21975 is a 30 Amp, 250 Volt ceramic thermal fuse used in GE dryers as a safety cutoff component. It's wired into the heating circuit and monitors the dryer's operating temperature — if the unit overheats due to restricted airflow, a failing thermostat, or a clogged exhaust vent, this fuse blows and cuts power to the heating circuit (or the entire unit, depending on the model's wiring) to prevent overheating damage or a fire hazard. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this is a one-time safety device: once it blows, it must be replaced — it cannot be reset.
A blown thermal fuse is one of the most common reasons a GE dryer runs but produces no heat, or in some wiring configurations won't start at all and clicks when the start button is pressed. Because this fuse is a safety-critical protection device, it's worth also checking and clearing the cause of the overheating (lint buildup, a crushed or clogged exhaust duct, or a failed cycling thermostat) at the same time you replace it — otherwise the new fuse is likely to blow again.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1X21975 Dryer Fuse fixes a GE dryer that runs with no heat, or shuts off mid-cycle after getting hot. 30 Amp / 250 Volt ceramic thermal fuse, direct OEM fit and function. Classic symptom: dryer tumbles fine but clothes come out cold, or the dryer clicks and won't start. Always clear the cause of overheating (lint, vent restriction, or a failed thermostat) when replacing this fuse.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer starts, heats briefly, then shuts off mid-cycle
Dryer won't start at all — clicking sound when the start button is pressed
Dryer stops running entirely after the unit has overheated
Clothes come out damp or cold after a full cycle
Dryer previously showed signs of overheating (hot exterior, burning smell) before losing heat

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. On most GE dryers, this fuse is mounted on or near the heater housing/blower duct at the rear of the dryer, which typically requires removing the rear panel or top panel to access. It can be easy to overlook on the parts diagram, so compare the physical part against your model's diagram carefully before ordering or installing. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old fuse, note their positions, and transfer them to the same terminals on the new fuse. Before closing the dryer back up, inspect and clean the lint trap, exhaust duct, and vent hood for blockages, and check that the cycling thermostat is functioning — a fuse that blew due to an uncleared overheating cause will often blow again shortly after replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but doesn't heat — is this the part I need?
A blown thermal fuse is one of the most common causes of a GE dryer that tumbles normally but produces no heat. It's worth testing the fuse for continuity with a multimeter before replacing it, since a few other components (the cycling thermostat, igniter on gas models, or heating element) can cause similar symptoms.
Can this fuse be reset instead of replaced?
No. This is a one-time thermal fuse, not a resettable thermostat or breaker. Once it blows, it's permanently open and must be replaced — there's no reset button or procedure.
Why did my thermal fuse blow in the first place?
This fuse blows in response to excessive heat, usually caused by restricted airflow — a clogged lint trap, a crushed or blocked exhaust duct, or a bird's nest or lint buildup in the outside vent hood — or by a failed cycling thermostat that no longer regulates temperature correctly. Clear the airflow path and check the thermostat when you replace the fuse, or the new one is likely to blow again.
Where is this fuse located on my dryer?
On most GE dryers it's mounted on or near the heater box/blower housing at the rear of the unit. Some installers find it tucked in a spot that isn't obvious even with the parts diagram in hand, so take your time locating it and confirm it visually matches before removing the old one.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect The Plastic Shaft For Wear Unplug your dryer and shut off the power source before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the cabinet by removing the screws from the back of the unit. Locate the control timer at the back side of the top panel. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect all of the wiring harnesses connected to the old timer. Remove the timer from the top panel by unscrewing its mounting screws. Inspect the plastic shaft for wear or damage before installing the new timer, since a worn shaft can affect how freely the knob turns even after the internal timer mechanism is replaced. Install the new WE04X20416, reconnecting all wiring harnesses fully and making sure every connection is tight and secure before closing the cabinet. Reassemble the cabinet and secure its screws. Restore power and run a short test cycle to confirm the dryer starts, runs, and stops correctly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs continuously and won't advance through the cycle. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing timer. If the internal mechanism has worn out or jammed, the timer can fail to advance through the cycle stages correctly, leaving the dryer running past when it should stop or stall partway through.
The timer knob is hard to turn. Will this new timer fix that?
It should help, but check the condition of the plastic shaft as well. One customer replaced this timer after being unable to turn the switch freely, which was affecting their clothes drying properly — the new timer worked well, but they specifically recommended also picking up the matching replacement knob, since a worn shaft or knob can still cause turning difficulty even with a new timer installed.
Is this the same as your WE04X20415 listing?
No, these are separate GE timer part numbers used on different dryer models, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm your exact part number from your dryer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old timer before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original timing mechanism, plastic shaft, and terminal layout of the timer originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replaces WP8573713
The XPARTCO 8573713 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers. This fuse is mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum, and it's a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant temperatures near the burner climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't heat, even though the drum may still tumble and the rest of the dryer seems to run normally.
Because this fuse sits on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the more accessible blower housing, replacing it is a more involved repair than a typical thermal fuse swap — the drum has to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this fuse cannot be reset once it blows; it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat near the burner is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers that won't heat, even if the drum still tumbles normally. Mounted on the burner funnel under the drum. Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, PS11746693. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer that stopped heating suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer or clothes coming out damp
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before losing heat
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Safety — Shut Off The Gas Supply Before Starting This fuse sits directly on the burner funnel, close to the gas burner assembly. Before beginning, close the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer in addition to unplugging the dryer or shutting off its circuit breaker. If at any point you smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and do not operate any switches — contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. Do not attempt this repair if you are not comfortable working safely around a gas appliance's burner assembly; a qualified technician can complete it instead.
⚠️ Drum Removal Required — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Wear work gloves. This repair requires removing the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the burner funnel, so budget more time and disassembly than a typical thermal fuse swap. Remove the top and front panels according to your model's service diagram, disconnect the drive belt from the idler pulley, and lift the drum out of the cabinet to expose the burner funnel underneath. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Test the old fuse for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming, and test the new fuse to confirm it's good out of the box. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new 8573713 fuse on the burner funnel in the same mounting position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the drum, belt, and panels in reverse order. Restore the gas supply and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer tumbles fine but there's no heat. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a blown gas dryer thermal cut-off fuse. Because this fuse only interrupts the heating circuit and not the drive motor, the drum can continue tumbling completely normally while the dryer produces no heat at all. If you've confirmed the burner isn't igniting and the fuse tests as an open circuit, this is very likely the fix.
Why does this repair require removing the drum? My other dryer's fuse didn't need that.
This particular fuse is mounted on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the blower housing at the back of the cabinet, which is where many thermal fuses on other platforms are located. Reaching the burner funnel requires taking the drum out of the cabinet, which is why this repair involves more disassembly than some other thermal fuse replacements.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and mounting configuration of the original WP8573713 thermal cut-off fuse used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers.
